After 40 episodes of book dreaming together, Eve and Julie know each other’s preferences as well as they know their own. In this one-on-one conversation, our two best book friends swap book recs. And although they’ve chosen these titles with the other in mind, we hope you’ll like them, too! Join Eve and Julie as they commiserate over the pressure of being on the receiving end of a book recommendation and explore what makes a good one.
